Angiomas and Haemangiomas are both types of benign (non-cancerous) growths that are related to blood vessels.
Angiomas and Haemangiomas are both types of benign (non-cancerous) growths that are related to blood vessels.
Angiomas:
- Definition: Angiomas are small, red or purple spots or bumps on the skin, caused by abnormal growth of blood vessels. They are typically seen as cherry red or sometimes blue lesions and can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the face, chest, and arms.
- Cause: They can develop as a result of aging, sun exposure, or as a genetic condition. They are generally harmless, but many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons.
Haemangiomas:
- Definition: Haemangiomas are a type of vascular tumor, often appearing as a raised, red or purple lesion. They are typically more prominent and larger than angiomas. Haemangiomas often occur in infants but can also appear in adults. These are growths of blood vessels that form a “tumor-like” structure and may appear on the skin, liver, or internal organs.
- Cause: In adults, they are generally benign but can sometimes be associated with other health conditions. In infants, haemangiomas often shrink and disappear over time.
How Fotona Laser Can Remove Angiomas and Haemangiomas:
Fotona Laser is a versatile and effective tool for treating skin conditions like angiomas and haemangiomas. It uses advanced laser technology to target the abnormal blood vessels that cause these growths. Here’s how it works:
- Laser Treatment Mechanism:
- Targeting Blood Vessels: The Fotona laser uses specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the hemoglobin (the red blood cells in the blood vessels). The laser energy selectively targets and heats the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body.
- Precision: Fotona’s laser can be precisely controlled to focus only on the affected blood vessels, leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This precision minimizes damage to healthy tissue, ensuring a safe and effective treatment.
- Procedure:
- The treatment involves directing the laser onto the angioma or haemangioma. You may feel slight warmth or a mild pinching sensation during the process. The treatment typically lasts for just a few minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
- Post-Treatment Care:
- After treatment, you may notice some redness or mild swelling in the treated area, but this usually subsides quickly. There is typically no downtime, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
- Results:
- Over the course of a few weeks, the treated angiomas or haemangiomas begin to fade, often disappearing entirely or becoming much less noticeable. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required for larger or deeper lesions.
Benefits of Fotona for Angiomas and Haemangiomas:
- Non-invasive: No need for surgery or incisions.
- Safe and Precise: The laser targets only the blood vessels, reducing risk to surrounding tissue.
- Quick and Effective: Most patients see significant improvement or complete removal after a few treatments.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is relatively painless, and recovery time is very short.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the blood vessels are treated, they are permanently removed.
If you’re dealing with angiomas or haemangiomas and would like to explore how Fotona can help remove them safely and effectively, feel free to schedule a consultation. The Fotona laser offers a fast, efficient solution for those seeking a smoother, clearer complexion without invasive procedures.
